departed last week, having told his
friends he was going to South Da

airplane of Wrong Way Corrigan, for
when it stopped for gas and oil the
auto was away down in Texas. He
wrote a letter to his landlady, Mrs.
Rainey, advising of his arrival in

find profitable employment there.
Doanc College a Cappella Choir.
Weeping Water people had the
rare privilege Wednesday evening of
hearing the Doane College a cappella
choir and Madrigal club at the Con
gregational church. This organiz
ation never fails to please its aud
iences. Unfortunately the weather
man's prediction for snow came true.
The landscape was beautiful with
snow laden shrubbery and trees, but
streets were sloppy and highways
bad for driving. However these young
people are undaunted by weather
conditions, rather they seem to wel
come them as obstacles to be over
come by giving of their best. The
college messengers sent out from the
oclleges to sing their way into the
hearts of the people are always a
source of inspiration and pleasure.
